More importantly is for the number to double properly. I have heard it go either way. For me it was a bad sign but I have friends that started very low and had healthy babies. I had a starting level of 25 the last time and it wasn't doubling properly and only reached 400 at 7 weeks and nothing showed on the u/s. I mc but then got pregnant a few weeks later w/o any treatments and my first beta was 66 and then shot up from there doubling and tripling. Try to stay cautiously optimistic. Praying for you guys!!!!

Normal is above 25. 5 to 25 is considered equivocal (kind of an in between). I was in this boat with my Friday hcg test, and then I went back in on Monday (I was supposed to wait until Tuesday, but I asked to be tested early to see if anything was happening), and my hcg had quadrupled by Monday. I go back tomorrow for another test. We have been praying fervently that the numbers keep doubling.

It really depends on what day the baby implanted and what your number was to start with. For example, if your hcg was 4.8 as a baseline (under 5 is not pregnant) and implanted at 6dpo, you would have a much higher hcg rate at 4 weeks than someone who started at 0.2 and implanted at 10dpo. hope everything is ok!

Ladies I know they say doubling hcg is what u need but sometimes the baby just gets off to a slow start. My hcg at 4 weeks was only 58 then 4 days later 79. I had bleeding so thought for sure it was over. Retested at 5 weeks (3 days later) and they were 259. Today 2 days later 760. Dr rang to say although we started slow and they are still low our chance is pretty good. I have reduced my activity and rested as much as possible and think this has helped. I hope my story gives u hope until those numbers drop there is a chance
